  1. 1. The Young Girl's Handbook Of Good Manners For Use In Educational Establishments

    For Use In Educational Establishments

    A mock etiquette manual that parodies the tone and prescriptions of boarding-school guides for girls, offering a sequence of ostensibly proper rules that quickly reveal a witty, subversive and often risqué satire of bourgeois morality and educational hypocrisy; written in a playful, ironic voice, it skewers social conventions by juxtaposing earnest decorum with sly, provocative asides to expose the contradictions of adult authority and genteel respectability.
